Shop at Cable Chick to for low price USB Cables, USB Extensions, USB Adapters and Hubs. Tellurium Q USB. A USB cable is a USB cabe is a USB cable. Moving from a JitterBug-free setup with the Coffee USB, I then swapped to the Carbon USB, but added a single JitterBug (with the Carbon connected to it). Some people will really like the slightly brighter sound of the Mercury and it’s emphasis on width over space, but I would personally stick to the SilverPlus, Cinnamon or Carbon before the Mercury. Again, as I said in my original post, make a Rasberry Pi device or any device that will log the data stream real time with no error correction. I’m glad you enjoyed the review despite the different approach I take. Also the rasberry Dac pro which I also used went on ebay the same day. Nordost Phono/RCA. https://audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/do-usb-audio-cables-make-a-difference.1887/, https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/measurement-and-review-of-totaldac-d1-usb-cable.1888/. Finally, in my experience, a decent USB cable will still improve things even if the earlier circuit is poor (i.e. I don’t believe in A/B/X testing for this type of test. However, since you did not reference whether you actually “burned in” the cable (running a signal through them for 100-150 hours), the results perceived with the higher silver content cable (specifically the all-silver Diamond) could not be even close to ‘absolute’. If this were the only cable I had, I would still be happy, but I know from past experience that there are benefits to be found with upgraded cables so I’m using this as a baseline for what follows. But then again, the stations were streaming at 128-320 kb/s. This is the most interesting comparison of all the cables I’ve tested I think because there is once again a significant change in the sound between the Coffee and the Diamond cables, but at first I found myself preferring the sound of the Coffee because it has a slightly greater sense of warmth and a beautifully focussed mid-range. I you ask me what ive learned over the years I would say that a Dac which everyone says is so important in your chain just isnt true… Most Dacs are fine but the thing that makes a Dac sound good is a good signal to it and a good cable from it and not so much the Dac itself (a 500 euro Dac should be just fine whether its vendor a or b) My question is… I am now using the usb carbon together with the coffee coax cable. You’re showing your ignorance in this digital world as an analog dinosaur and audio”fool”. Read the full review: Atlas Element Integra. No one said you can’t degrade a signal and screw up a cable as in it doesn’t meet USB certification but again that’s never what we were talking about! Furthermore, please see following link that confirms no substantial difference in USB cables via objective technical testing: https://www.cnet.com/news/when-are-expensive-cables-worth-it/. Since the micro USB cables are not too complicated, their important aspects can be summed into the following aspects: Although fast charging is a function you can live without, its existence makes life much easier and gives you flexibility, and more importantly, it saves time. This USB 2.0 extension cable a is certified active extension cable (using NEC HUB chip). But since you’re bringing it up.. .I’ll quote both USB.org and Tech & Measurement world…, USB.org: http://www.usb.org/developers/usbfaq#sig4 I desperately didn’t want there to be any improvement because I don’t want to spend money on cables when I could be buying headphones and other more fun stuff. There’s 30+ years of audiophile, casual listener, audiophile and commercial music folk, writer/reviewer’s who have experienced (repeatedly) the distinctions that superior equipment/cables/AC power offers the passionate (keen-eared) listener. So for a year or so I left it all as it was thinking that I needed a lot of cash to get my setup to his level using a PC thinking that it might be impossible to get to that standard as a PC is not so much a dedicated audio machine as a high end cd player is. Hi Lachlan: I didn’t realize you had replied until recently. However, that doesn’t always represent an easy task and for that reason, the following lines are written in the first place – to bring much-needed help and make your choice much easier. We’re talking about a $5 monoprice or amazon basics cable that is USB certified vs these $200+ cables. Because it acts as the reference for every calculation of voltage in the digital audio system, the cleaner you can keep your ground plane, the cleaner your audio will sound thanks to the prevention of significant amounts of jitter and noise. Lachlan Fennen: I know you’re not an engineer or even a tinkerer of anything that utilizes a digital signal by your own responses. It’s very hard to imagine cables having a significant impact, but the simple fact that I (and others like you) continue to be surprised suggests it’s not placebo / expectation and is actually really happening. Much of the audio world is purely confirmation bias and eliteism (much like what Peter Jasz is attempting to do) with little to no fact behind it because one can’t accurately measure a PCM waveform and tell you the level of clarity or tonality within it. All curious USB cables feature the USB Type A to USB Type B standard of connectors. This is because music / audio is a strictly time-bound function so repeated data clarification could cause all kinds of drop-outs or stuttering in the signal. Before I answer that question, I want to state that I am going in sceptical. Bottom line is that if the wire size is big enough so the overall conductance path has a low enough resistance, then the signal can be considered digital for this purpose. You’re showing your lack of experience in this area and additionally shows just how near impossible how the occurrence and modification/change in the musical quality you’re trying to describe you experienced could occur unless your claim is that through the standard cable you’re experiencing something like 2+% packet loss through your assumed reason be it jitter or RF or whatever and the DAC is going crazy doing error corrections to alleviate pops/stutters and other audible noise and still output a seemingly clean signal. So again, it’s just 0’s and 1’s on a square wave form (you should know what those are by headphone tests). Victor Lee is 100% correct that USB cables cannot change audio quality. Such is the nature of human experience and expectations. This 6-foot Tripp Lite USB-A to USB-B cable features molded connectors and integral strain relief for enhanced durability. The guitars sounded a bit crisper and more tactile, the vocals sounded a bit smoother and there was a slightly greater sense of space between me and the music which made the music overall more enjoyable. Hi Victor, thanks for your comments. It instantly proves itself to be a better option than the generic cables and is a no-brainer if you’re looking for a budget upgrade to your USB audio system. ALOGIC 1m USB2.0 Cable, Type A to Type B. ALOGIC 1m USB2.0 Cable, Type A to Type B. It was like going from an average MP3 rip to a beautifully mastered, lossless high-res file – I was instantly addicted. From the review I sense that you might get more resolution with the Coffee but same signature? Last but not least I was still using a generic coaxial cable from my usb soundcard (powered by the carbon cable) to my dac. Umm, Hi-Fi mag’s and professionals in the business (including listener’s) have understood this for decades -30 years at minimum. I am not an engineer and do not enjoy the depth of technicality required to debate this topic at length, however, I believe that John’s article (coming from a place of much experience and expertise) clearly explains the influence of jitter in blurring the line between a “O” and a “1” when it comes to digital audio. Boris, Boris, Boris: Understand, appreciate and respect that there are many (from all over the world) that take the difficult and lengthy time to engineer spectacular products. amzn_assoc_design = "enhanced_links"; Tracks WordPress Theme by Compete Themes. Binary code with CRC error detection is totally same with any decent cable (1€/m). To futher stabilise the sound I bought a high end power cable for my pc which again creates a step up in quality. Yes please! There was more space in the sound, both in the overall size of the soundstage, but also in terms of the space around each instrument / sound. But…, Not all USB cables are better than the generic ones or cheaper options from other companies – do your research, Some of the technologies that can sound like snake oil and voodoo actually do work (and it’s best to let your ears be the judge even if you think it’s hogwash). However, for a large number of users, that doesn’t play such an important role, but it is a limiting factor, so keep that in mind. The same advanced design as the Starlight 8 USB, built with less silver to save cost, Ultraviolet's surprising musicality proves that Wireworld's superior designs produce the best value and sound quality in USB audio cables. So you trying to post this a 2nd time as “proof” in your theory is an indicator of your lack of experience in the area as it doesn’t say anything you’re trying to make it say so at least try another narrative as I’ve had to repeat myself numerous times already on this and other points. I definitely didn’t expect any difference between two generic cables with no special technologies to speak of, but I was shocked to find that the sound from the clear cable was actually more enjoyable than the black generic cable. To add to that, if USB were perfectly capable of transferring audio without hitch (and therefore with no need for improved cables) then why do other digital transmission methods sound better? I received Mark's new usb cable yesterday. USB cables have use for more than computer audio. would compare to AQ’s DBS system ? Lachlan. I’m certain a loudspeaker change/improvement would/should be considered first. My final point is key: I write this blog very deliberately from a place of subjectivism. In order for there to be changes the signal of 1’s and 0’s HAS TO BE CHANGED over the transmission medium. It is mandatory to procure user consent prior to running these cookies on your website. USB Type C. USB Extension Cables. If you are looking for a reliable, efficient and durable micro USB cable that is available in a variety of sizes and colors, Anker Powerline cable is an ideal choice for you. “In John’s article (posted previously) he discusses how jitter and timing errors are inherent to digital due to the necessary flow and variation of current. But the evidence and logic is irrefutable. I hope you understand how much needs to go on for that to occur. amzn_assoc_marketplace = "amazon"; One of the most important and overlooked components of any audio or visual system are cables. The USB A connector is found on most PCs, MACs and many laptops, it is rectangular in shape. Will the results be equally as impressive? With an adapter, this is compatible with all USB except for USB 1. But I see, there remains those stuck in the Jurassic period -firing off claims and research done by Bell Labs (and other telecommunication company’s) from the 1920’s. Secondly… It’s an interesting argument for those like you somehow believe that interference/reflection/impedance or whatever logic that you wish to employ exhibits a specific tonal benefit in the digital signal. That’s not a criticism of the pricing though because the increased cost of pure silver conductors compared to 90% copper conductors makes sense. Think of one strumming (at a camp fire) the guitar, the “snap” precision/speed of the fingered strings as one plays; whenever does it sound ‘mellow’, flat -boring ? away. I should have re-read your reply to Thomas Tan -before I replied to TT’s reply ! Hi Lachlan: For folk such as Boris (who clearly know everything) your offer of educating remains thoughtful and considerate. ?’, I must say YES -and more. (I recall, as a dealer of Kimber SELECT cables, that as one moved from copper, to copper/silver and finally to all-silver -the improvements were profound. But yes, this is ultimately low importance on a human scale. amzn_assoc_design = "enhanced_links"; Instantly, the clear cable had a sense of clarity and definition to it that was more appealing than the black cable. Personally, I take far more pleasure from my NightHawks. The soundstage is pleasingly wide and precise and music displays excellent dynamics. @lachlan If you trust on your ears, you don’t need your eyes to decide which is the best cable. Again, you seemingly don’t understand this is a digital data stream. It sounds like you heard it first hand! “… IF any of this stuff made a distinctly measurable difference …, Given that there are very definite differences caused by some of the features already discussed, I would expect to hear at least some subtle changes as I move the silencers along the Mercury, but the reality is that nothing noticeable happens. It supports fast charging (up to 2.4A) and offers good performance, with a data transfer speed of up to 480Mbps. It is great to share opinions and differing views – that is how we all learn and innovate, but let’s keep this in perspective as the relatively low-importance (in the scheme of the world and all its challenges) and non-personal matter that it is. And you will become a better person for it. I completely lost track of trying to hear for the boring audiophile specifics. Errors/noise in the signal will show up either as gaps (dropped packets) or a pop or something of the like not a musical shift in tone, possibly a jitter spike (not music) that enters the audible range. It’s fantasy land if you believe those errors/noise interjecting themselves into the stream where the only result is less clarity and warmth, link me something that could explain that. The current USB specification requires adherence to specified impedance values so matching should not be a problem. For most. – a simple test. Before I get into any details about the cables, let’s cover off on how this review was done. However, at the sub-MHz samplng ranges we’re talking about, it’s not likely to be a problem for audio. amzn_assoc_region = "US"; Available with A to B plugs, or A to Micro-B plugs. amzn_assoc_tracking_id = "passion4sound-20"; a 0 instead of a 1) or at least the information is decoded with incorrect timing information thus smearing the signal, The fact that USB was designed for IT-type purposes is a key point. Some devices don't like USB cables that are too long - however if your audio device is separately powered it's less of an issue. Am also using windows audio using a pc. This time around, the wonderful crew over at AudioQuest have loaned me one of each of their USB cables from the entry-level Pearl all the way to the top of the line Diamond that costs more than most headphones, amps or DACs. amzn_assoc_asins = "B004LR9QVC"; amzn_assoc_tracking_id = "passion4sound-20"; Shop for usb a to b cable at Best Buy. You’ve presented nothing here that would come remotely close to doing this. amzn_assoc_ad_type = "smart"; The sound from the SilverPlus suddenly sounded a little soft around the edges.

It is available in blue, black, white and silver color and is also available in combination with a power bank, or an L-shape. There’s literally no way that random noise can target specific parts of the signal to change the tonality of the converted analog waveform. So, the answer to the question is a very unsatisfactory “maybe” when it comes to whether or not the improvement from the Carbon to the Coffee is as impressive as from the Cinnamon to the Carbon. Joined Feb 13, 2016 Messages 29,138 Likes 80,716 Location Seattle Area. Thread starter amirm; Start date Sep 4, 2017; 1; 2; 3 … Go to page.

Consider Kimber SELECT’s excellent cable, and Shunyata’s E-Tron (self-polarizing/neutralizing technology) cables. I’ve learned a long time ago, that absolutely every component in a higher resolution sound-system (good mid-fi qualifies) plays a role, and can have a distinct –easy to hear– impact. Firstly, audio streams do not get subjected to the same data checking that a file transfer does. The Regen Link replaces the hard adaptor or fly lead supplied with Regen. As long as the connections fit then your good to go with the following caveat. In this article we explain how to choose the best audio cable, what's the difference between one and the other and a bit of history behind each of them.

Hi Guys, I am just wondering what the best usb cable is to use, I had a Supra USB 2.0 Cable Type A To B this was the best buy from 2015, this cable has been destroyed by my Husky, I was wondering if there are people here with experience with different usb cables. This is the 2nd time you’ve posted that link and like my first response I have to tell you there’s nothing in that link that provides ANY inking of what could color the sound through a data cable – nothing. May we all enjoy great music and the wealth of magic that it inspires. amzn_assoc_linkid = "d5b021117aef2884a174c1dd499f68d8"; I reviewed the brilliant little JitterBug separate from this review and while I have used the JitterBugs for this whole review so far (to test the cables with minimal interference from the noise from my computer), but now it’s time to see if a step up in cables or a couple of JitterBugs make a better investment. But that statement alone is utter nonsense, especially talking about a digital interconnect. This response is far longer then I wanted to (lol). That is precisely the insight audiophiles find invaluable. I've learned that getting the digital signal transmitted is not the issue, any USB cable can do that fine. Shop with Afterpay on eligible items. Yet, we know that a complete ‘break-in’ without electric means is possible. If you need a Micro-USB–to–USB-C cable—to connect to a MacBook Pro or other USB-C power source—the AmazonBasics USB Type-C to Micro-B 2.0 Cable is the best we’ve found. With this in mind, my feeling is that good cables are able to mitigate some of the inherent weaknesses (i.e. Have you ever considered what happens between the 0/1’s ? But opting out of some of these cookies may affect your browsing experience. Claiming that is delusional. c) Offer a single reason how the noise (no, your link mentions nothing about how this could be pulled off) can affect the entire analog conversion to increase not only the clarity but tonality of the entire PCM signal without introducing audible artifacts like pops or stuttering. Just so you know, all those issues with analog are still there, but they’re limited to analog signals. Thanks for sharing, BH! From an engineering standpoint, it all boils down to the RC time-constant, impedance matching, and shielding. In any case, there are easy-to-distinguish audible differences in near any/every cable you may wish to evaluate -throw-in and after-market. This cheap set offers three 0.3m cables in one package and is available in a variety of colors: red, black, silver, gold, blue, white, etc. Chord Phono/RCA.

As millions of others have ! See all our audio cable reviews. Often found on some model digital cameras, MP3 players and other electronics. to lucky people such as Victor and Gordon who continue to see the Earth flat from where they are standing and it makes perfect sense (doesn’t it:), as does listening to music using 2-3 dollar headphones or speakers straight out of an old laptop (because nothing else makes a difference right? power noise) of the USB standard for audio purposes – I am not questioning its ability to transmit high speed data. Connecting the Carbon USB to my system brought a depth and timbre to my music that I haven’t heard before from my system. In this list, you’ll find the best micro USB and OTG cables you should buy. Obviously this isn’t ideal as the circuit is only as good as its weakest part, but a decent cable can at least prevent further degradation when the signal moves from the USB socket to your DAC. Chord Company C-line. The time will come when concrete “evidence” will surface to explain such phenomenon. Regardless, even with the Carbon (that I also immensely enjoy), rest assured you are experiencing remarkable SQ (dimensional, lucid, resolving, detailed, and tonally engaging) that Vicky and friends (Flat-Earth crowd) can never attain.

Ever. … There’s TONS of actual information from developers of the standard and IT Techs that have nothing to sell to you. I have both cables hooked up full time these days to different devices so they are both very well used and while I can absolutely appreciate the performance of the Diamond cable, there’s something about the Coffee in my setup that just tickles my fancy, probably in the same way that an “imperfect” tube setup might be more enjoyable to some people than a more accurate solid state setup. Aftermarket USB cables seem to be all the rage with people paying as … amzn_assoc_placement = "adunit"; The DBS seems a little gimmicky to someone like me without the physics expertise to fully appreciate how significant the interaction between insulation, conductor and electrons may actually be. 131 results for audio usb a to b cable Save audio usb a to b cable to get e-mail alerts and updates on your eBay Feed. Thanks for taking the time to write this review, I have an audioquest coffee and quite like it, I don’t have the patience to AB test and rely on me spending time with all my cables for an extended period of time and then decide which one I like. You do understand that the vast majority of those responses who say they do make a difference come from the wire maker themselves correct? To me, other than being an exercise in technology, it matters not how it is achieved, but rather if great sound quality is experienced. Yes, I expected some improvement going from a stock USB cable to a decent aftermarket one, but I absolutely expected a rapid tapering of audible differences once we started getting into the $150-$200+ range. Australia's best range of USB cables, guaranteed with a 5-year warranty. As it happens, the shift from the Carbon cable to the Coffee was one of the most dramatic in the whole write-up and went completely against my expectations – I was convinced that the AudioQuest DBS technology was a sham, but I heard what I heard and that’s what I shared. moode/ MPD).

These cables make the perfect holiday stocking stuffers. Be aware, though, that Intel’s EMI Design Guidelines for USB Components suggests using ferrite beads as a method for reducing interference.2 According to Locke, Intel’s design guideline (which is undated) was written early in USB’s life and you shouldn’t use ferrite beads.”. Moreover, it offers great durability (it can withstand more than 10.000 90-degree bends) thanks to its triple-braided nylon shell and aluminum connectors, and in compliance with that comes with a lifetime warranty. However, other characteristics, such as modest one-year warranty, and especially the lack of fast-charge support, make it a bit less attractive. amzn_assoc_linkid = "4ea39b187259a5a28d240a5a645eb245"; The Mercury is another USB cable that I personally own and it comes at a higher price tag than the incredibly impressive Carbon, but it does offer some interesting features that are unique in this comparison. In fact, I still favour the Coffee over the Diamond based purely on subjective enjoyment. Junior Member; 295 2129 posts; Share; Posted December 15, 2018.

Careers; Community & Sustainability; Media Centre; Store Locator; Customer Service. Instead of A/B/X testing, I have approached this subjectively. May be one cannot have a sweet detailed sugnature unless the Earth is flat? Victor, I requested respectful discussion and you’ve continued to be disrespectful and mildly abusive. Yet, is it always for the better ? For example, the same argument was held for speaker wires which led to the explosion of exotic and expensive speaker wire manufacturers. To my mind, a proportional spend on the cable compared to the DAC makes some sense from a purely financial perspective. Furthermore we got a space and detail back that I never heard before and yes, finally exceeded the 8000 euro cd player in terms of total sound quality. ...
